BOB FLETCHER <br />RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF <br />14 W. Kellogg Boulevard <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 -1648 <br />Telephone: (651) 266 -9300 <br />Telefacsimile: (651) 266 -9328 <br />To: Kathy Glanzer <br />City of Little Canada <br />From: Lt. Mike Shanley <br />Subj: Law Enforcement Calls Related to Alcohol Establishments <br />Date: April 25, 2000 <br />In a twenty -five year career in law enforcement I have observed that the most serious calls police <br />handle are related to the consumption of alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Consumption of <br />alcohol reduces inhibitions. This can often result in a subjects loss of respect for authority and at <br />times even civil disobedience. It is this effect of alcohol on normal people that has continually <br />increased insurance rates for alcohol establishments. <br />Due to safety concerns it is routine for the Sheriff's Department to require at least two squads to <br />be dispatched to any call at a liquor establishment. In addition, we require a report to be written <br />on all calls to liquor establishments regardless of nature; this is to keep a complete record of calls <br />for service and identify problems. There have been times when the city has used reports of <br />special problems to contact individual establishments and elicit their cooperation to abate the <br />problem. <br />By and large, liquor establishments generate more calls for law enforcement service than any <br />other type of business establishment; this is true even when owners try to continually monitor <br />and control their clientele. <br />ADULT DETENTION DIVISION (651) 266 -9350 • CIVIL PROCEI <br />Page 2 <br />SION (651) 481 -1317 • WARRANTS (651) 268.9320 <br />
